NFL Draft 2011: 5 Quarterbacks Hoping to Hear Their Name Called on Day 2

The first round of the 2011 draft saw four quarterbacks come off the board in the first 12 picks and none in the following 20.

Teams that could be considering a quarterback in Round 2 include the Bills (No. 34), the Bengals (No. 35), the Cardinals (No. 38), the Redskins (No. 41), the 49ers (No. 45), the Raiders (No. 48), the Redskins again (No. 49) and the Seahawks (No. 57).

Unfortunately for those seven teams, only five of the remaining signal-callers are widely believed to be deserving of a Day 2 or at least a Round 4 grade.

Who is this fab five of quarterbacks that are expecting to hear their names called on Day 2?

Tyrod Taylor, Virginia Tech

The knock on Taylor is his four years of a completion percentage below 60 percent, but he has thrown 37 touchdowns and only 10 interceptions his past two seasons combined.

As shown in the video, he relies on the Virginia Tech staple: the fast-footed, snappy-arm style.

Taylor needs to work with a quarterback coach that can harness his athleticism and nimbleness to help him become more patient in the pocket—being undersized, he struggles to see through passing lanes at times.

Teams have been disappointed that he hasn't been willing to run routes or return kicks. I believe he needs to be drafted to a team with the intention of making him a backup and slowly working him into various roles of the offense as his overall skill set grows.

He is an athlete and competitor worthy of Day 2 consideration for any team with an extra pick that wants a sub-package, versatile backup quarterback.
